I'm not 100% sure it is changing what you want to change, but in winamp you can access file info and change what is there.

You don't need any special software on Windows. Just right-click over the MP3 file and select Properties.

To save each field that you type into, you must move the cursor to another field (before closing the Window).

2. Can I change the genre of a song?

Yes, you can change the genre of a song using a music editing software. In iTunes, you can select the song and click on "Get Info". In the "Info" tab, you can edit the genre in the "Genre" field and save the changes. In Audacity, you can select the song and go to "File" > "Edit Metadata" > "Genre" to make changes.

If you want to change multiple tags at once, you can use a bulk tag editor like MP3Tag. This software allows you to edit multiple tags for multiple songs at once. Simply select the songs you want to edit, right-click, and choose "Edit tags" to make changes to the artist, genre, album, and other tags.

5. Will changing the tags affect the quality of the song?
